iPhoto has vanished

[hooligan6a]

I had a new hard drive installed now I can't find iPhoto.

iLife is not a part of OS X and may not have been installed. Did you install the Applications DVD?

 

[hooligan6a]

I did an upgrade from lion to mountain lion. ML has no app. DVD iPhotos was an App. on
Lion.,

Hi,


If you did a TM backup prior or just after the upgrade then you can reload iPhoto from that.

i didn't do a backup. Isn't iPhoto in Mountain Lion? or OS X

Hi,

I know its a little late but you should continually use TM and back up, it can save a lot of grief.

Have a look here regarding all the applications in ML.http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/

This is my 6th MacBook they all had iPhoto, I just assumed it was part of OS X
How did I lose it?

Hi,

Sorry no Idea how you lost it, and someone will correct me if I am wrong but if memory serves SL was the last OS X loaded with iPhoto and upgrading through Lion and now ML should not have made any difference it should still be there in your applications folder. Well it did for me on my latest 2010 Macbook.

If you are close to an Apple store book into the Genius Bar and explain, more than likely they will pull out a software loaded drive and reload it for you hopefully free of charge.

Or go to the App store it is extremely cheap.

That was my next move, a trip to the Genius.

Hi,

Would be good to know how you get on. As I said hope they do this for free.

Thanks for helping out oldscribe I cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion on my iMac C2D as it is unsupported so I have no idea what issues folk are having to deal with ...

 

[oldscribe]

Hi Spawn_Dooley,

It is my pleasure, as I hope if I run into an issue someone will give me good hints or help solve them.
I know how frustrating little problems can be, and the time it can take to solve them.
Forgive any typOs I'm on phone and can't add smileys,

Have a good day

You have typed "iPhoto" into Spotlight???

 

[hooligan6a]

Yes I did and that didn't work. I went to itunes and got a free download. it now works.

Thanks.

Pleased to hear you have iPhoto back now, it may pay to run TM as well.
